If I got what yoy mean, I think I had suggested something like that myself... but it was back in SA 0.1 days, when there was no explicit Session. But are you saying that doing sth like a = MappedObject() session.save(a) del a would prevent 'a' from being saved when flushing the session? In SA 0.3.1 it seems to stay in it. Or it's just a matter of changed attributes, something like a = query.get_by(id=x) a.attribute = 4 del a ? In both cases, I think the strongly referenced behaviour is OK. If it's in a session, I want an object to be tracked whatsoever, unless I explicitly remove it. -- Alan Franzoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Togli .xyz dalla mia email per contattarmi.
